I read the first book in the series and immediately picked up the second. How many books do I have on my tbr before this series? Who cares? I needed to find out what happened with the Montgomery family. I love this series and these characters. I love Seaglass Beach. 

Also, Griffin plays baseball for Atlanta and never names a team (maybe the author can’t for legal reasons), so I’m going to assume it’s the Braves. 

I did take note of the fact that each book has a different vibe. The first one was cute and flirty. This one is funny and flirty. This book had me laughing out loud at the banter. Each book is cohesive, yet each character is distinctively different. This can be tough to pull off, but this author does it with ease. 

Can’t wait until November for Roman’s story.

I loved this book. I loved it so much. No third act break up. HEA. It was one of my favorite types of books, what I like to call: beach reads. It’s one of those one day reads that you can’t put down because you fell in love with the characters and you NEED them to have a happily ever after. I’ve been reading a lot of these books recently and I’m loving it! It’s small town beach romance and was done really really well. The characters were memorable, not annoying  and well thought out. The only thing that irked me was the way Poppy and Liv would say “Gawd.” And the way it’s spelled…it got on my nerves. I know exactly what the author was doing, just the spelling irritated me. I was able to quickly look past that, just something I noticed. I’m currently reading Poppy’s story and can’t wait to see how their story unfolds.

I normally read books quickly. I listened to this one and had to stop part of the way through and take a as break and was listening to it via audiobook. However, I realized going into this book that I do not like high school romance but it came so highly recommended from Booktok, and the reviews were so high, so i thought I would read it. 

Because I knew going into this it was a high school romance, I understand that all my points below have to do with this, so in terms of writing, and plot, I’ll give it 3.6 stars. Character development gets a 3 because it was really frustrating. 

I didn’t hate this book, but I didn’t love it either. I like this book but i read this from a 27 year old woman with some dating experience. But the way she keeps going on and on and on about Michael is REALLY annoying. Like girl he’s just not into you. You’re willing to change every aspect of yourself for a boy in HIGH SCHOOL when you have one that is amazing right in front of you?!?

The way she kept saying this or that is so “unwes…” is really frustrating. She is adamant that she is not Little Liz anymore in Michael’s eyes, but can’t understand that Wes has also grown up and changed? 

Whyy does she have to lie to Jos? It doesn’t make sense. If that were me, I would be spilling all the beans, regardless of how my friends felt about the guy that I liked. It is giving very high school behavior. Jos had every right to be so mad at her. 

The whole back and forth refusing to believe that Wes may actually be a good guy is headache inducing. In one breath she’s saying how amazing Wes is and how she’s so head over heels and the next sentence is “BUT MICHAEL…” 🙄

I would probably not re-read this. It was not for me. The whole rom com aspect was really cute though and I enjoyed that particular aspect.

This is definitely a shorter read, but I loved every minute of it. For reference, I really very fast, so I read this in less than 2 hours. The story didn’t feel rushed or cut short. I actually found myself wanting more chapters nearing the end, but I really enjoyed the 2 years of epilogue at the end. In my experience, there’s normally only one.

This entire novel was so well executed and well thought out. All the characters were likeable and I never once thought “wow, this character is exceptionally annoying.”  I loved all the characters. The way the author delicately talks about the triggers was so heart warming and I found myself getting emotional for the Elena. The fact that the author gave Noah a voice was so refreshing and she truly felt a main part of the entire book. Grant was amazing and didn’t make me think, “I’m rolling my eyes so hard at this main character my eyes actually hurt.” 

I just loved this book so much. If you’re coming here from Tiktok, read it. It’s everything that every TikTok I saw made it seem. There’s a reason this has such good ratings.

This was a cute read. The Barbie & Kenzie thing going on was great especially with the hype around Barbie right now! I really enjoyed the plot and story line. The characters were likeable although the idea that Kenzie comes and finds Barbie after 5 years is a little far fetched to me, I know this is romance and anything can happen in romance so it was easy to overlook that. 

I received this as an ARC and this is my honest review.

I literally read this because I couldn’t sleep in 2 hours. I love these types of quick, easy romance reads every once in a while. I liked the fact they just accepted they liked each other and neither of them tried to fight it. I feel like so many novels try to drag out the attraction, can but I can’t vibes, which is great, but it’s nice to have a little break from that. I was expecting there to be more doubt especially with Luke being Emmy’s brothers best friend. This is definitely the type of book you read by the beach in one sitting. I didn’t find myself thinking that I needed more from these characters. But I would love to see a Teddy and Gus book! They were also meant for each other! 

I really enjoyed the plot. It wasn’t over complicated and almost all of the conflict was about the horses and the ranch. This novel was a HEA, with no third act breakup.

I really really really loved this book. Charlie is probably one of my favorite male characters ever. He was complex, but not too complicated. His story was straightforward and made sense. All the characters felt that way, but the story and characters were complex enough that it had an interesting plot that kept the book from getting boring.

I did feel like maybe the book was a little longer than needed, but it was probably because I was listening to the audiobook vs reading it myself. (I read pretty fast!) 

Overall I loved this book and would read it again!
